i'm getting it all replaced as they were all insured but i couldn't help but notice that i felt so much lighter without my DSLR, i've always travelled with an SLR and this time i felt free without the burden!

so it got me thinking, what if i got a lighter camera just for travelling.

anyone recommend a good lightweight camera and i don't want point and shoot so I was looking at something like the Fujifilm X100 or one of the mirrorless cameras like the Sony or Olympus but then with those I'd probably have extra lenses so, leaning on the Fuji X100 as a good contender.

i read that rangefinders are good for travelling.

Key things i'm looking for are to be able to shoot in RAW and have full manual control when I to.

budget is between $1500 - $2000, I did see that Leica are releasing the X2 soon as well.

canon g12 or g1x may be fine. built in zoom lens, full manual controls and shoots in RAW. i have one and its small enough to carry around in a pouch on my belt (i never leave home without it) they are also well under your budget. but, they do use a much smaller sensor than the fuji x100 if that matters.
